The INPM is dedicated to advancing health, spirituality, peace and human fulfillment through research, education and applied psychology with a focus on the universal human quest for meaning and purpose. We accomplish this mission through research, publications, conferences, and public education.

According to Wong's meaning-centered approach, a comprehensive resileince program contains at least the following ten lessons: 1) Purposes & life goals, 2) Understanding the self and one's place in the world, 3) Freedom & responsibility in the face of many opitions but a finite life, 4) The right & wrong pathways to happiness, 5) Courage to accept internal and external constraints, 6) Faith & belief in a better future, 7) Commitment to growth, 8) Discovering the hidden dimensions of self and new frontiers of life, 9) The power of self-transcendence, empathy, compassion, & altruism, 10) Positive thinking, attribution and meaning-management.

Yes, I know the popular answers: Good economy, good paying jobs, happiness, success and all things that people typically strive for.

But have you considered the unlikely answer that meaningful living might be what people really need?
